By supporting the creation of community-led clean energy generation and efficiency projects, and establishing the necessary foundational skills and knowledge, we can build wealth and power for frontline communities.

A Just Transition
What is a Just Transition to clean energy?

- Centers concerns of marginalized people
Description from Initiative for Energy Justice
Our Projects
In keeping with our mission to advance clean energy that builds power and wealth in highly impacted communities, we intentionally recruit new board and staff members with lived and professional experience in communities of color and low-wealth to enhance our team’s effectiveness.
“The Spark Northwest team was extremely helpful in assisting me in completing the PSE Solar Grant Application. Without their assistance I doubt I would have made the deadline date for the submission.”

While our on-the-ground program work supports an equitable clean energy transition, we simultaneously work on policies to ensure everyone has access and that benefits are directed towards energy-burdened and climate-impacted communities.
